As we enjoy these final summer moments, let's prioritize water safety! Whether you're hitting the pool, lake, or beach, the 5 Layers of Protection are your best defense against water accidents:
1. Supervision: Watch the water, no distractions!
2. Barriers: Fence pools with self-closing, self-locking gates.
3. Water Competency: Ensure basic swimming skills.
4. Life Jackets: Wear USCG-approved life jackets in open water.
5. Emergency Prep: Know CPR and have a plan.
Have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!
